COUPONFCNC provides 20% off renewals for existing domain. Pretty good discount that works every now and then.
Just renewed my domain name for 9 years at US $100. Not the cheapest due to currency conversion but still a good deal. I really like Namecheap's dynamic DNS. Been with this provider for years.
Another good coupon is NEWCOM598 for a .com domain for US $5.98 a year but this is for new customers only.
thanks for this, good for next time
Ah well. What's US $23 over 9 years…..
(Secretly kicking myself for not knowing this earlier).
While you do get access to cost pricing if you switch to Cloudflare you do have to use their name servers and manually control your DNS zone as well as rely on community support first unless you're on a paid Cloudflare plan.
It's not for everyone and it's definitely not for all situations.
I have been meaning to change to namesilo, but to save time I will take this discount even though not as cheap overall.
I'm on namesilo, but going to be moving to Cloudfare. Cheaper by a bit
They have no profit margin? Namesilo is cheap and have been around a long while. Namecheap WAS cheap once, and price rises followed.
They have plenty of profit margin it's just not on the domain registration part.
Essentially their goal is to get you to pay for a paid plan which you have to pay for for each domain name that you want the additional features on.
They also get to pocket any money made on premium discounts offered to them by the registries of the various extensions on new registrations and to certain extent on renewals.
You're required to use their name servers and you're reliant on community support if not on a paid Cloudflare plan.
Question to those who already have domains with Cloudflare, is domain privacy included in their price? Or that's an extra? Thanks.
Also if you have over 50 domains, Namecheap do discounts on renewals and new registrations. It saves about $5 per domain renewal.
That's a shame. You could have bought the same thing at Cloudflare for US$77.
They don't do promotional pricing, they just charge cost price every year.
